IgE is secreted by mast cells in response to allergens and is important in immunity against parasites. It also is the most important factor in the pathophysiology of anaphylaxis or type I hypersensitivity. The antibody preparation is specific for human IgE when tested against purified human IgA, IgG, IgM, Bence Jones κ, and Bence Jones λ proteins. Identity and purity of the antibody is established by immunoelectrophoresis._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Purified human IgE (myeloma)_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Human IgE (epsilon-chain specific) antibody may be used as a control in various immunoassays._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Lyophilized from 0.01 M sodium phosphate, 0.015 M sodium chloride, pH 7.2._x000D_ Reconstitution_x000D_ Reconstitute with 0.135 M sodium chloride to achieve a 1 mg/mL solution of antibody._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
